Biography
Khan Malamir was born in 786, the son of Khan Omortag of Bulgaria. He was a Tengri Bolghar. Malamir succeeded his father as Khan of the First Bulgarian Empire in 831, as his older brother Enravota had forfeited his right to become heir to the succession by converting to Christianity. Malamir executed his brother in 833 for refusing to abandon his faith, and in 836 Emperor Theophilos of the Byzantine Empire invaded Bulgaria at the expiration of the 20-year peace treaty. Malamir died that same year.
